Barbie Cloak

Okay, so this is how this came about. I was going through my Halloween Fabric (I only have 2 boxes of it) and I saw this awesome purple fabric with little bats on it. Well, I just couldn't decide what I wanted to make out of it...when it hit me. Barbie Cloak.

The little dress under the cloak is adorable. I converted a pocahontas pattern and it really came out lovely. I am going to be making another cape, but this time with a spider web fabric. Hope it turns out as cute.

My latest CPK postings

I cut out little butterflies and appliqued them to the side of the pants...adorable. Some of my best work. I have a ton of patterns, but most of the time they aren't quite what I am looking for. I guess you could say I am tired of seeing the frilly little dress with the pinafore.

I am working on creating my own patterns. I find that it is very liberating, plus it just makes me feel a part of Project Runway. Just kidding.

I decided with this particular outfit I wanted lace. Kind of like those boutique outfits for little girls that are so popular. I usually make shoes for my outfits, but this time I didn't...looking for something a little more plain. But I will make more shoes and post them on my site separately.


Here is the outfit shirt and all with it's butterfly on the sleeveless top.

If you are interested in this outfit, please feel free to look at my etsy store, or contact me if you are looking for different colors.

Well, I decided to Blog about my Etsy store. Why not, I am a shameless self promoter anyway. So, for those of you who don't know, I have a Etsy store called BaaBaaMoos. Okay, I know the whole Blog is devoted by BaaBaaMoos (I just can't help myself). Here is my Etsy site address www.BaaBaaMoos.etsy.com Okay, I am shameless. Anyway, I haven't, as of yet fallen into a niche. I am still trying to find my crafting identity (so to speak).

I make handmade doll clothes for Barbie and Cabbage Patch Kids. Which in and of itself is difficult to do since everything is so small (speaking of barbie, CPK is easy). But how do you really start to sell? I ask myself that all of the time. What sets one person apart from the rest? Is it pictures or personality? Nope is Promotion. How do we know you are there if you don't promote yourself. So, here is my blog on promoting myself.
